Shirou's clones number 30 million

"Rin, you're here! Please take a seat. There's so much food today, everyone is almost full."

Rin Tohsaka instinctively turned around and saw Illya carrying two plates, placing them on Hercules' table.

What are you doing?

"Shirou, his mother, and Sakura are having a cooking competition to decide who will cook in the family from now on. Shirou is too good, so his mother and Sakura are trying to win by expanding their culinary repertoire, wanting to see who can cook more different dishes than Shirou."

Aren't you going to be a judge?

"I've already eaten, and I can't eat anymore."

I see, no wonder she was helping to carry the dishes.

It seems that the Fujimura group members were called over because they had cooked too much food and couldn't eat it all.

That's great, something like this never happens at home.

"Rin, hurry up and take a seat, there's more and more food being served over there."

"I just ate at home and can't eat right now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Rin Tohsaka noticed Illya touching her stomach and couldn't help but ask:

"What are you doing?"

"Let me see if you really can't eat anymore."

"If that's what you're saying, then I'll have to see yours too."

"do not want!"

"Stop! Don't run!"

"I can't eat anymore either."

Fujimura Raika put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass, clinked it against Emiya Kiritsugu's, and said with a smile:

"I never imagined that I would one day be drinking with Mr. Emiya."

"Mr. Fujimura, the Emiya family has benefited greatly from your care over the years. I would like to offer you a toast."

Emiya Kiritsugu raised a glass of wine, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Ten years ago, he didn't have any particularly close relationship with the Fujimura Group; in truth, they were just ordinary trading partners.

But ten years later, the two families are now as close as one.

"Haha... Back then, Taiga suddenly came to me and asked me to adopt Shirou. I was full of doubts at the time and wanted to refuse."

"But she knelt on the ground, her attitude was unexpectedly serious, and she admitted that she would only let the family register the property in name, and that she would take care of it herself."

"After much hesitation, I finally agreed."

"Over the years, I've discovered that Shirou is indeed a good boy..."

Listening to Fujimura Raiga's account, Emiya Kiritsugu glanced in the direction of the kitchen, lost in thought.

"Mr. Fujimura, now that I'm back, Shirou and Illya..."

Fujimura Raika suddenly interrupted him, smiling as she said:

"I think it's fine as it is now. Shirou and Illya have both grown up..."

Kiritsugu Emiya was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized that he might not intend to return custody of the two children.

It seems we still need to take a long-term approach.

To be honest, the one who tied the knot must untie it; perhaps we could talk to Dahe.

.......

"Therefore, the winner of this housework battle is Emiya Shirou."

Illya stood next to Shirou Emiya and happily raised his hand.

"Thank you, you flatter me. Starting today, I will continue to be in charge of the meals at home, just like before."

As for the housework, although I really wanted to continue taking on the responsibilities, I knew that the two of them would definitely not agree.

"Waaah... I didn't win a single dish. Shirou's housework skills are amazing." Irisviel looked dejected.

"Senior, do you have any books related to cooking? I'd like to train for a while."

Yes, I'll find it for you later.

After chatting for a while, Emiya Shirou noticed that Hashiba Shirou had appeared at some point and was sitting on the judges' panel.

When did you arrive?

"I thought you were almost done here, so I came to talk to you about something important. I've been here for about five or six minutes."

"A clone?"

"Ontology."

"Let's go then. We're all busy people, there's no need to waste time."

Emiya Shirou created two shadow clones to stay behind and clean up the tables, chairs, and food scraps. He then called Rin Tohsaka and they went outside together.

Seeing this, Ilya quickly followed.

"Why did you follow me, Illya?" Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but ask.

“You guys look like you’re going to do something really fun, I want to go too.”

“We’re going there to work, it’s not fun at all, you should go back now.”

"No, what Rin can do, I can do too, and I can do it even better."

This guy! He truly is my nemesis.

Meanwhile, inside the Emiya residence.

Upon discovering that Shirou Emiya had suddenly created a shadow clone in front of everyone and left with Rin Tohsaka and Illya, Kiritsugu Emiya frowned slightly.

Ten years later, can magic tricks be used freely in front of ordinary people now?

Impossible! Magic needs mystery; it can't possibly be this widespread.

"Mr. Fujimura, you don't seem to be curious at all about the clone technique Shirou just used?"

"Haha... Not only me, but many people in the Fujimura group know that the Emiya family can do magic."

Fujimura Raika laughed for a while, then turned to the slimes who were cleaning up the food scraps on the table and added:

"Besides, I have these slimes at home too. Do you think I should be curious about that?"

Kiritsugu Emiya was completely taken aback. Wouldn't openly using magic cause more problems?

Furthermore, these people's attitudes are abnormal. They know that magic exists, but they just accept it so easily?

This isn't a performance magic trick; it's something akin to magic.

Wait, perhaps only the Fujimura group knows this, and since they consider Shirou family, they don't care about it.

The outside world remains the same as before.

......

Under Shirou Hashiba's leadership, the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop) was quickly established.

The speed at which it opened surprised Rin Tohsaka.

Although she wasn't good at these things, she could tell that these trivial matters were very troublesome, and normally, even at the fastest pace, it would take three to five days.

"Rin, the shop is already open, isn't it? Why do you seem a little unhappy?" Ilya asked with a smile.

Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but glare at her, thinking to herself:

He gets happy when he sees I'm unhappy; he's my nemesis!

"I'm just a little disappointed that I didn't really help much."

I originally planned to contribute land to help, in order to gain a larger share.

Who would have thought that Qiaochang would act so quickly, easily taking over two adjacent storefronts.

The renovation was accomplished with an unprecedented magic trick, taking only a few seconds.

"Shirou, what kind of shop are you planning to open? A restaurant?" Illya asked, looking around with great curiosity.

"Open an Odd Jobs Shop, and the store next door will specialize in selling slime."

"Oh my...! Slimes can be sold in large quantities now? That's great! Now I can take slimes for walks. But won't that cause problems?"

"What's the problem?"

"Magic needs to maintain its mystery, and openly selling slime is undoubtedly telling everyone in a grand manner that there is another hidden side to the world."

“That’s exactly what I was saying,” Rin Tohsaka interjected. “I was just thinking of saying that. Not only is it about publicly selling slimes, but also about using Shadow Clones in public. This will also cause the mystery to lose its mystery.”

Emiya Shirou looked back and forth between the two, then said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If mystery becomes public, magic's power will decrease, so we can just switch to magic. This is the future trend, and no one can stop it."

"For example, we are sitting in a truck, and even if someone suddenly jumps out and blocks our way, it won't help."

"Where's the truck? I can't see it." Rin Tohsaka looked surprised.

"It's just a metaphor. In reality, we weren't riding in a truck, but in a giant tank that's taller than Mount Everest."

"What kind of strange analogy is this? I don't understand it at all! All I know is that if you openly sell slimes, countless magicians will come looking for trouble."

“Then let them come. I set up a barrier in Fuyuki City several months ago. Under certain circumstances, magicians will become ordinary people.”

"What special circumstances?"

"Well... that's not important. All you need to know is that what we're doing is pushing the times forward. The world is on our side."

"If something really goes wrong, it will be too late."

"Alright. Seeing how anxious you are, I'll reveal some information: I had a date with the world last night."
